Canopy DIY

[stacy22]

Can anyone point me in the direction for basic design plans for tank canopies? I have a small 40B that I want to attempt to construct a canopy for. I really don't want or need anything fancy.

I have found plenty of generic plans for stands but not had much luck looking for canopy plans.

Thanks in advance.

Happy reefing!

How tall?

Pretty streamlined. I guess around 12".

post a picture of something similar to what you're looking for and it'll give us a better idea of whether it's a good fit..

Did you ever find anything? I just saw this thread, I built a stand/canopy for my wifes 40 breeder. Nothing outrageous, but it works

I'm looking to do something similar and don't want to start a new thread so, I'm just going to toss my bookmarks into this thread if that's alright.

I just kept cutting and glueing wood until something fit and would hold my lights
